Which three characteristics are typically associated with the core layer in the Cisco hierarchical network design model? (Choose three.)

• packet manipulation
• monitoring of DMZ traffic
• connectivity to the data center
• redundant paths
• rapid forwarding of traffic

Explanation: The core layer is the backbone and aggregation point for multiple networks and provides scalability, high availability, and fast convergence to the network. It can provide high-speed connectivity for large enterprises with multiple campus networks distributed worldwide and it can also provide interconnectivity between the end-user/endpoint campus access layer and other network blocks such as the data center, the private cloud, the public cloud, the WAN, Internet edge, and network services. Packet filtering is a function of the distribution layer.
